About this adventure
Housed inside a former 600,000-square-foot shoe manufacturing warehouse in Downtown St. Louis, City Museum is an internationally celebrated artistic playground constructed almost entirely from repurposed architectural artifacts, industrial machinery, and salvaged steel. Families can slide down a thrilling 10-story spiraling spiral chute, navigate hand-carved subterranean limestone caves, and wander through whimsical pipe mazes. For families with younger children, Toddler Town on the third floor offers a gentle, enclosed play zone with cushioned obstacles, small slides, and mini climbing apparatuses tailored safely for kids under 6. Sturdy knee pads and athletic shoes are recommended for active climbers. Wide ground-floor ramps provide stroller accessibility to the main hall, circus show ring, and the Artquarium, with multiple family restrooms and snack lounges located on each level.
